HI Amber, I have heard a couple of JAWS users say they like NOD32. Here was my experience, your mileage may vary. I have a Dell 9100 notebook and had a similar experience as you had. It started when I went to install the new version of McAfee and within about a week the drive totally died and I had to get it replaced. So far things have been going good except for the McAfee spam blocker. It likes to block replies to mail as possible spam. I think when I get my new computer I may try NOD32 on that one.

Btw, do you regularely update your virus definitions and do you also use anti-spyware on your system? ----- Original Message ----- From: Amber Wallenstein <mailto:amber.wallens@xxxxxxxxx> To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 10:13 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] totally OT but I'm desperate here Hi all: I am desperate for help here, and really could use some computer advice. I bought a Dell laptopabout 11 months ago. It was running great for the first eight months or so. The first time it crashed in October, it was a virus. I used Maccaphe at the time. The next time it crashed, it was over Christmas break, and I suspect it was a maccaphe issue as well. I got it fixed but as soon as I started putting programs, etc, on it again, it crashed a third time. This time I was looking at different anti-virus programs. I don't want to use Maccaphe again, as I am not happy with the service. I sent the computer back to Dell but got it back again today saying there are no hardware issues, and that it's all my software. I'm running Windows XP homewith service pack 2, with Jaws 7.0. Any advice on strong anti-virus software that's accessible with Jaws? Amber, extremely frustrated "I don't want to just mess with your head. I want to mess with your life.
